Our Punny Pals are fun, spunky, and on a mission—to share as many smiles as possible! To help you continue spreading smiles this month, we came up with a list of small acts of kindness to keep you going. As you perform these, or any acts of service, consider leaving a card from the Share a Smile card kit behind. This small sentiment will be a reminder of the kindness you shared and will continue to bring joy (and smiles!) for days to come.

Rake a neighbor’s yard

Mail a note to a long-distance family member

Pay for the person behind you in a drive-thru.

Take flowers to the nurses’ station at your local hospital

Leave a plate of cookies with a thank-you note for the cleaning staff at your office

Put change in an expired parking meter

Drop off cupcakes to your local fire or police department

Tape cash or a gift card on a random gas pump

Leave positive messages in public places

Offer to return someone’s shopping cart to the store

Hide a favorite book in a public place with a note that it’s free for the taking

Hold the elevator for someone else

Invite an elderly neighbor to dinner

Leave a generous tip at a restaurant

Put a Share a Smile card in the mailbox for your mail carrier

Isn’t it amazing how little things can brighten our day? A compliment, a thank you, any small gesture of gratitude or compassion can spread joy. Sharing a smile with friends, neighbors, and even strangers is uplifting. Everyone feels good!

At Close To My Heart, we are celebrating Operation Smile™ and the non-profit work they do to help people everywhere have beautiful healthy smiles through safe cleft lip and palate surgeries. With every purchase of the Punny Pals stamp set, Close To My Heart donates $7 USD to this wonderful organization. You, too, can help change someone’s life and at the same time create cute and delightful cards to spread kindness to your family, friends, and community.

When I am in the grocery store and I see someone that only has one or two items I have let them go in front of me I am usually not in a hurry but maybe they are so it makes me feel good and more then once they are very grateful.
